Night time sabotage
This weekend was a tough one when it came to my diet. I ate very well for breakfast and lunch meals however the dinners were in the tank. I had pizza and beer Friday night at my wife’s company function. Saturday, I had rib eye, spinach, mashed potatoes and beer/wine at a second work function for my wife. I was looking forward to Sunday’s dinner as it was going to be homemade beef stew. However, we started it late and our neighbors asked if we wanted to go out for pizza with them and the kids. I was really dragging my feet but was out-voted since dinner was running late and we had a free pizza coming to us from a previous trip there where we received terrible service. So, a disciplined person would have had the salad bar with water. Not me! I had, you guessed it, pizza and beer. So it’s no surprise that despite regular workouts and proper eating in the morning and afternoon that I have sabotaged my efforts at night. Night time is the worst time of the day for me. My cravings kick in and they are magnified if I have any amount of alcohol. If I can manage my evening mistakes, I’m sure I could start breaking through my barriers. However, easier said than done. My goal for the week is to take charge of my evenings and avoid the temptations.
